Poems continue to inspire thought – Wanderings and Wonderings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snow reveals the passing tracks of those that have come before us, if only for a brief moment
But I wonder what other tracks go unnoticed when snow is not there to remind us
Following, leading, erasing
Walking, crawling, slithering, running, leaping
Away from and towards
Paths converging and pulling apart
Prints in the snow
How many other humans AND nonhumans have stood where I stand
Neither alone nor lonely
Waiting watching listening
Who\/what has walked these place before
What might these tracks tell us about the presences of others
Being and belonging in a multispecies world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
